Family Farming Knowledge Platform

Promoting family farming to resolve the great challenges of our times

Agriculture is the single largest employer in the world, with family farmers
accounting for the majority of this workforce. Family farms produce over
70% of all food and manage a significant proportion of natural resources.
Such a diverse and resilient agricultural model makes it possible to provide
suitable solutions to challenges revolving around food, society and the environment.
It is vital that we recognise and support family farms if we are
to combat poverty and foster sustainable development.
